For the first time in 40 years, we finally get the opportunity to see and hear Thailand’s controversial King Maha Vajiralongkorn speak.
The 68-year-old king made his first public appearance and comments during a royal function at the Grand Palace in Bangkok on November 1, 2020.
His extremely rare appearance comes as the Southeast Asian nation grapples with pro-democracy demonstrations that has engulfed Thailand since February 2020.
What caused these protests?
